Ex-NSCDC officers seek better retirement benefits
The Nigeria Association of Retired Civil Defence Officers has called on the Federal Government to review the retirement benefits of officers of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps.
The association’s Chairman, Deputy Commandant-General, Evans Ewurum (retd.), said this during the inauguration of a 13-member committee saddled with the responsibility to establish an operational plan for the smooth running of NARCDO.
Ewurum, in a statement signed by the association’s spokesperson, Danjuma Elisha, on Friday, noted that the appeal was aimed at having a retirement and pension plan that will place the Corps at par with other security agencies.
“The association is an appendage of the NSCDC and has been assigned specific and well-defined functions of managing the affairs, activities, post service life and living conditions of retired NSCDC officers nationwide.
“The inaugurated committee is to midwife the effective take-off of the association which was established to primarily cater for the welfare and well-being of its members.
“They are to plan and coordinate actions and activities aimed at producing a blueprint that will lead to a very successful fundraising for the association’s operation,” Ewurum stated.
He further directed the committee to turn in its preliminary report in two weeks while charging the committee and other members of the association to be committed to their designated assignments.
The DCG applauded the NSCDC boss, Ahmed Audi, for creating an enabling environment for the association to kick off by providing properly furnished rented office accommodation.
